OK, i lied- I moved forward, dropped the assembly- Now Should i be taking the assembly apart?

 

OK, went back and read your first post regarding the valve body. Not sure if i did the right thing here. Im not going any further...

I see the Accumulators, the 3 pistons. What am i looking for here? Just free movement? Do they just move up inside the trans or could they have moved outward and sucked in debris?

 

You want to pull the entire assembly although it can separate if not careful. DON'T separate it...tiny BB like ***** will go everywhere. Have the TB guru's got you on the right road yet?

 

You notived eh? Lol- Two heads are better than one!

lol, yeah, thats what i was afraid of... looked scary. The last accumulator may have been kinda stuck, but im not sure if that was from it coming out a bit when i dropped the valve assembly... Either way, its freeed up now.

I put it all back together, new filter, 5 quarts of new type F. Seems to be running about the same. BUT, i might change my mind and just say "what if" the engine although running "ok" is just tricking me, and is severely underpowered? Possibility exists. After a test drive, i am noticing thats its not like im anywhere close to "free revving" while in gear, which ive seen before with a smoked/ slipping clutch.

Im going in another direction here now... I think i need to get much more familiar with the motor, kjets ect... before i rule that out. Is there a good "stage zero" list out there for my car?

Thanks for any help guys! Much appreciated.

 

Well, i guess ill start digging around the engine bay... Check timing ect... Anyone know what spark plug cable i should be using for timing? Or any other ideas? The plugs cap and rotor are pretty new, but ill check them all just the same.

 

Soooooo. I might have won this battle... Someone tell me, if im crazy. In digging around in the engine bay, I found that the Bracket that holds the AC condenser and the PS pump was loose!! I think it may have been but a ton of pressure on the belt, causing massive parasitic drag...

Either way, i tightened it up, as well as cleaned up the spark plugs, dug around a bit on the upper PVC hoses, cleaned them out a bit, cause i could. After all that, the car seems to be close to back to normal. Revving up a lot faster, getting up to speed ect. Still doesn't seem to be as peppy in first gear though.

Also noticing a bit of weird buzzing coming from under the car. The source seems to be the near the main fuel pump, and i think its the accumulator? Is that whats next to the main pump?

Incidentally, i had this thread going a while back-
